Released texts from yesterday's article in The Athletic on final days of Jimmy Lake at UW
Ahead of a scheduled Thursday meeting that week between Cohen and Lake, Cauce and Cohen each expressed hope the coach would show some willingness to alter his approach — and communicated in a way that left open the possibility he might return to coach the team following his suspension.
“Hoping this can be an opportunity for growth,” Cauce wrote in a text message. “If not… well….”
Cohen replied: “I’m so hoping he can see he needs to make changes. This will be a very telling moment.”
In reading between the lines, Cauce knew all along Lake was terrible at his job and had to go. And once again, Cohen sounds like an overweening mom praying for her wayward son to be contrite and not get fired.

I appreciate your humility BTW. -
All indications in the article lead to the idea that Jimmy would have retained his job if he had any self awareness and “played the game”DerekJohnson said:

If you’re taking anything away from Cauce it’s that she’s willing to stay out of the picture unless it becomes clear that there is (or will be) too much damage to the UW name and reputation
As I’ve said elsewhere, she’s probably as good as it gets for an AD at UW in that she’s supportive and will allow you as the AD to do your job …
As for Jen, just another example of this job being too big for her skills -

The fact that Cohen is still AD leads me to believe otherwiseDerekJohnson said:

You made a rational point using the proper number of words.
TLDR. I agree.
